Jason: Motors are 450 watt, 24 volt, geared about 7 to 1, maximum RPM = 550 #35 chain drive from the motor to the track drive sprocket is 1 to 1 ratio. The track drive sprocket is 3 inch diameter, with 8 flats. Theres 2 12 volt , 12AH batteries, but I have another set if need them. For another 16 pounds weight, I could have 24 AH capacity.
I think final weight will be about 135 pounds with 2 batteries, 150 with 4 batteries.
